佛教与医学和治疗有着悠久的历史，延续了两千多年，并在整个亚洲得到了发展。它现在也开始在西方留下印象，尽管目前缺乏西方宗教（如基督教）建立的那种发达的基础设施。然而，虽然佛教与医疗保健之间的联系早已被注意到，但在这一领域的研究却很少。本文概述了佛教关心病人的伦理价值，并概述了佛教在亚洲传播时医疗保健的作用。在此基础上，它探讨了许多评论家所描述的当代医学中的“萎靡不振”，并询问为什么今天这门崇高的艺术让许多患者和临床医生感到不满足。似乎有什么东西丢失了，这篇文章提供了一些思考，关于佛教和更广泛的宗教是否可以给出一个可能是什么的指示。结论部分提供了佛教僧侣组织和佛教医疗慈善机构工作的相关信息。
Buddhism has a long history of association with medicine and healing extending over two thousand years and embracing developments across the whole of Asia. It is now also beginning to make an impression in the West, although presently lacking a developed infrastructure of the kind established by Western religions like Christianity. However, while the connection between Buddhism and healthcare has long been noted, little research has been undertaken in this field. This article outlines the ethical values which underlie Buddhist concern for the sick and gives an overview of the role of healthcare in Buddhism as it spread throughout Asia. Following from this it explores what many commentators have described as a 'malaise' in contemporary medicine and ask why it is that this noble art today leaves many patients and clinicians unfulfilled. It seems something has been lost, and the article offers some reflections as to whether Buddhism and religion more generally can give an indication as to what that might be. The conclusion provides information about the work of Buddhist chaplaincy organizations and Buddhist medical charities.
